Technical Abstract

Disclosed are a network access method, a terminal and a non-transitory processor readable medium. According to the method, a terminal scans frequency points to perform network search. The scanned frequency points are added to a first pre-set list. If the terminal fails in registration under a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list are searched in a next PLMN registration process so as to perform network registration.

Patent Claims
13 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A network access method, comprising: scanning, by a terminal, frequency points of supported bands to perform network search; adding the scanned frequency points to a first pre-set list; and in case that the terminal fails in registration under a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), searching for the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list in a next PLMN registration process so as to perform network registration; the method further comprising: before scanning the frequency points of the supported bands, searching for frequency points stored in a historical registration list, the historical registration list comprising registered frequency points; and in case of failure in searching for the frequency points stored in the historical registration list, scanning the frequency points of the supported bands.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , after searching for the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list so as to perform network registration, further comprising: in case of successful network registration, adding successfully-registered frequency points to the historical registration list.

3

3. The method according to claim 2 , before adding the successfully-registered frequency points to the historical registration list, further comprising: acquiring a current geographic position of the terminal; and establishing a mapping relation between the geographic position and the frequency points; and wherein adding the successfully-registered frequency points to the historical registration list comprises: storing the mapping relation between the geographic position and the frequency points to the historical registration list.

4

4. The method according to claim 1 , after searching for the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list so as to perform network registration, further comprising: in case that network registration fails, scanning frequency points of the supported bands; adding the scanned frequency points to a second pre-set list; and in case that the terminal fails in registration under the next PLMN, performing network search in a subsequent PLMN registration process according to the frequency points recorded in the second pre-set list and the historical registration list.

5

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the operation of adding the scanned frequency points to the second pre-set list comprises: adding the scanned frequency points to the first pre-set list so as to form the second pre-set list.

6

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the operation of adding the scanned frequency points to the second pre-set list comprises: replacing frequency points in the first pre-set list with the scanned frequency points so as to form the second pre-set list.

7

7. A terminal, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: scan frequency points of supported bands when it is detected that the terminal performs network search; add the scanned frequency points to a first pre-set list; and search for, in case that the terminal fails in registration under a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list in a next PLMN registration process so as to perform network registration; wherein the processor is further configured to: search for, when it is detected that the terminal performs network search, frequency points stored in a historical registration list, the historical registration list comprising registered frequency points; and scan frequency points of the supported bands in case of failure in searching for the frequency points stored in the historical registration list.

8

8. The terminal according to 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to add, in case that network registration succeeds, successfully-registered frequency points to the historical registration list.

9

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to: acquire a current geographic position of the terminal; establish a mapping relation between the geographic position and the frequency points; and store the mapping relation between the geographic position and the frequency points to the historical registration list.

10

10. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to: scan frequency points of the supported bands in case that network registration fails; add scanned frequency points to a second pre-set list; and perform, in case that the terminal fails in registration under the next PLMN, network search in a subsequent PLMN registration process according to the frequency points recorded in the second pre-set list and the historical registration list.

11

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the operation of adding the scanned frequency points to the second pre-set list comprises: adding the scanned frequency points to the first pre-set list so as to form the second pre-set list.

12

12. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the operation of adding the scanned frequency points to the second pre-set list comprises: replacing frequency points in the first pre-set list with the scanned frequency points so as to form the second pre-set list.

13

13. A non-transitory processor readable medium having processor readable instructions stored therein which, when executed, cause the processor to implement a network access method, the method comprising: scanning, by a terminal, frequency points of supported bands to perform network search; adding the scanned frequency points to a first pre-set list; and in case that the terminal fails in registration under a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), searching for the frequency points stored in the first pre-set list in a next PLMN registration process so as to perform network registration; the method further comprising: before scanning the frequency points of the supported bands, searching for frequency points stored in a historical registration list the historical registration list comprising registered frequency points; and in case of failure in searching for the frequency points stored in the historical registration list, scanning the frequency points of the supported bands.
